LoCI Controls, Inc. announced the launch of LoCI Controls Canada, extending the company's position as a market and technology leader in helping landfill operators maximize the financial performance of renewable natural gas (RNG) projects.
RNG has emerged as one of the fastest-growing pathways for landfill gas in North America, converting methane that would otherwise be flared or vented into a marketable, low-carbon fuel. For operators, the economics depend on capturing and delivering gas efficiently, which requires knowing, in real time, what's happening underground.
Aemetis Receives $22.4 Million from Clean Fuel Tax Credit Sale
Aemetis Inc. announced it received $22.4 million from the sale of Section 45Z Clean Fuel Production Tax Credits generated from ethanol and renewable natural gas production in 2026, according to a press release statement.
The tax credits represent a value of approximately $0.33 per gallon of ethanol and $62 per MMBtu of renewable natural gas, before sale discounts and transaction costs. The values are based on the 45ZCF-GREET model updated by the U.S. Department of Energy on September 8, 2026.

Brazil Joins Global Biomethane Expansion
Turning Organic Waste into Renewable Fuel for Transport,” an international study commissioned by Instituto MBCBrasil, places Brazil among the world’s fastest-growing biomethane markets, alongside the United States, China, India, Spain, Ireland, Austria and Belgium.
The study maps the development of biomethane across approximately 40 countries. The fuel is already used in transport in nearly 30 markets and has reached commercial scale in more than 12. At the other end of the spectrum are established markets such as Sweden, Germany, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and Norway, as well as the U.S. state of California, where biomethane already accounts for 97% of the gaseous fuel used in road transport.
